How do we decide to give something away? Is it old? Have we outgrown it? Does it take up too much space, and we want to make room for something different? Is it a duplicate? Whatever the case may be, most of the time we don’t give away our best stuff, do we?

God gives what is good. The truth of a blessing is that God gives it. Not a God who plays favorites, but a God of extravagant love. God doesn’t do hand-me-down love. Yesterday’s meatloaf is not the main course. God serves up blessings beyond our wildest imagination. The menu is full of the good stuff: love, truth, righteousness, peace. God offers us the very best, not simply what is leftover. We are blessed by God’s generosity.

May we strive to do the same for God and our neighbors.
